Neither of which is really useful, unless you block ports (and I really would not do that in an ISP environment, except maybe port 25 outbound, just so that I could have logs of what my subscribers sent. Again, there should be no filtering on domain names if you choose to do this).
but the solution I was looking at was for places where people cannot afford to do that. or are not *willing* to pay for the above solutions.
You can implement total traffic throttling on Linux as well as the BSDs. http://www.lartc.org/ for Linux. See tun0 or other options on the BSDs.
